To proof pluripotency, iPSCs (CMGANTi003-A passage 16 and CMGANTi004-A passage 15) were differentiated into the three embryonic germ layers (mesoderm, endoderm and ectoderm) using the StemMACS Trilineage Differentiation Kit (Miltenyi Biotec) according to manufacturer’s protocol at 37 °C, 5 % CO2, 20 % O2. On day seven, cells were collected for RNA extraction and cDNA synthesis. Expression of the selected germ layer markers (Table 1) was verified using RT-qPCR as described above (Table 2).
